Rachel Carter (Director of Research, BC Centre for Palliative Care; Research Scholar, Equity in Palliative Care, Providence Healthcare; Adjunct Professor, Division of Palliative Care, UBC) hopes to improve improving equity in the provision of palliative care. Much of her past research has involved community-based Advance Care Planning education, focusing on improving awareness and engagement by increasing community capacity. More recently, her experience includes grief and bereavement supports within the province, building consensus around the definition of care provided by hospice societies in BC, and how to improve serious illness conversations for people experiencing structural inequities.
